  21. It's hard to decide which one is my favorite. I think since I don't have many dresses that I would have to go with the Your Highness Dress. I like it in both colors but would probably go with the Rabbit(brown) color.

    I am so glad that I found your blog!

  31. I adore the Weave Hello Top in Windsor Wine... and while I'm still figuring out my personal style(19 and breaking away from my tee-and-jeans uniform of high school), I love pairing a soft, flouncy, lacy skirt with structured tops.
